Happy Birthday/God's Love

My birthday was last week.  It was a memorable birthday, I have never had a broken bone on my birthday before.  We woke up and cleaned the Lake House and then drove home.  Dad T. drove my car and Mom T. drove his.  We stopped at Wendy's for lunch and then were back on the road again.  About 20 min. away from Wendy's I realized I had left my purse at Wendy's.  With the crutches in my hands I had forgotten to grab my purse.  We raced back, said lots of prayers, and were blessed that someone turned my purse in and nothing was harmed.  What a great blessing!!  What a great birthday present.

John Derek made me this cute flag out of legos as well as a sign that read "Happy Birthday" out of legos.  Derek brought me home an orchid, my mother and grandmother got me a beautiful church outfit, Mom and Dad T gave me a beautiful scarf, and I bought myself feather dusters.  I told my children they were magic and they didn't believe me.  But "magicly" my house was dusted as everyone tried them out.  It was delightful.

This reminds me that the Lord is merciful and full of love. He does not reprimand these men who have turned themselves to Christ. He welcomes them, forgives them, loves them, and gives them the peace they need.

I feel like He does this for me. He is merciful and full of love. He does not reprimand me for my weaknesses but strengthens me because of my faith in Christ. He welcomes me when ever I seek His company, He loves me and makes sure that I understand that I am of worth. He gives me the peace I seek as the world falls around me. I am so grateful for Him and His love for me.
